GOMA - The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company

Event details: If, like me, you grew up with the wonderful worlds of Jim Henson, this is one we absolutely have to see! Join us for a Saturday morning meetup at GOMA to explore Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company, a major exhibition celebrating the creativity, characters and worlds created by The Jim Henson Company. Important: you need to buy your own ticket. Admission to this exhibition is not included with the meetup. Everyone attending will need to purchase their own exhibition ticket directly from QAGOMA. I have booked the 10:30am session on Saturday 24 October, so please choose the same 10:30am time slot when booking your ticket so that we can all enter together. Exhibition and ticket purchase information here: https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/exhibition/make-believe-magic-the-worlds-of-the-jim-henson-company Ticket price: $40 per person Meetup: Saturday 24 October 2026, 10:30am Start time: 10:15am for a 10:30am entry (to give people time to arrive) Location: Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), South Brisbane Your ticket: Please purchase your own ticket for the 10:30am session. Once we're inside, we'll explore the exhibition together at a relaxed pace. Afterwards, we'll find somewhere nearby for coffee/food for anyone who would like to continue the morning. This is one I'm particularly looking forward to — come along and revisit some of the most imaginative creations of Jim Henson's extraordinary career! Personal disclaimer: I've run a number of meetups in the past (in Sydney) and attended many more (all over the world), and I have learned it best not to give anyone my phone number straight away. If you need help or are lost on the day, please use the comments section or send me a message using the meetup app. Also, I expect a level of common sense and independence of those attending these events. While I definitely want to be welcoming and help foster conversation, I won't be baby sitting anyone. At the end of the day, you need to be responsible for yourself - it's just a common courtesy so that everyone can have a good time. Thanks!
